By the spring of 2018, Angus MacTavish had flunked out of Glasgow Caledonian University. Deciding to move to America, he ended up in Flint, Michigan, a city he heard of that had a water crisis around four years earlier. Flint seemed like a place Angus was meant to be in; poor, broken, and in need of some TLC.Finding work as an apprentice mechanic, Angus was offered the opportunity by a co-worker to participate in a complex scheme to deceitfully obtain the tool shop where they worked. Angus felt that his acquaintance's plan would fail. But for lack of maturity or the need to be accepted, Angus agreed to go along with him. Angus had gone into debt to Sandy Thompson, a professional criminal in Scotland, to get the documents needed to pull off their fraudulent scheme. When they attempted to carry out their coup the two amateur conmen were immediately sacked. Thompson used Angus' debt to force him into a complex international money laundering venture. Angus, needing to rid himself of Thompson's hold, met with his co-conspirator to discuss repaying their debt, but his accomplice rebuffed him, so Angus killed him.After confessing his problems to his fianc e, she offered to help Angus get rid of Thompson's grip on him. She recruited a New York Times reporter to write Angus' story with the hopes of surviving the consequences. In the end it was Angus' attempted murder of one of Thompson's lackeys that ended Angus MacTavish's saga.

Is there anything more tedious than a Sunday family outing to an old ruin? That's what Charlotte thought (you would, too ). After all, how could she have guessed that this outing was planned ages ago - long before she was even born - and that it would land her in a really strange place Some people (especially adults) will probably find this book interesting because it brings to life a forgotten time in a usually overlooked region (Angus) of Scotland rich in natural beauty. What's it about? A lot of stuff: monks, clans, friendship, adventure, a mystery, and a bloody battle. It's not a "girlie" book, nor a typical "boy adventure" but once you start reading, you might just get hooked By the way: We spent a lot of time digging into 'sources' to make all the details 'accurate' - so once you read it you'll know something about history and you can show off in class. But that's mainly useful to get some adult to pay for the book. What we really wanted to do is to write something that we would want to read ourselves: funny, sad, surprising, and unexpected. After all, like most sensible people (sometimes, but not often, even adults), we really don't like boring books. Enjoy
Lessons from service and system failures describe the pivotal roles played by governance and leadership in delivering high-quality, safe care. This Element sets out what the terms governance and leadership mean and how thinking about them has developed over time. Using real-world examples, the authors analyse research evidence on the influence of governance and leadership on quality and safety in healthcare at different levels in the health system: macro level (what national health systems do), meso level (what organisations do), and micro level (what teams and individuals do). The authors describe behaviours that may help boards focus on improving quality and show how different leadership approaches may contribute to delivering major system change. The Element presents some critiques of governance and leadership, including some challenges that can arise and gaps in the evidence, and then draws out lessons for those seeking to strengthen governance and leadership for improvement.
